shaft 3 has fixed ends, and the through-holes have arc openings to contain the fixed ends so that the fixed ends could further prevent the slider from easily loosening when the slider is assembled. - In one embodiment of the present invention, as shown in
FIG. 5 toFIG. 7 , the bottom surface of the joint portion between thelocking part 112 and thespring mounting part 111 has a protrudinglocking head 13, which inserts into the locking through-hole 251 to prevent the pull-tab 1 from sliding when the pull-tab is laid flat. - As shown in
FIG. 12 , in one embodiment of the present invention, the connectingshaft 3 is set as a cylinder, one end of the cylinder has a gear-shaped fixedend 31, and its addendum circle diameter is larger than that of the first through-hole 271 and the second through-hole 272; when the slider is assembled, the fixedend 31 would be damaged and inserted into the connecting shaft through-hole 14, ensuring the fixing effect. - As shown in
FIG. 13 , in one embodiment of the present invention, the connectingshaft 3 is set as a cylinder, whose top-end has a fixedend 33, and the bottom is set as a hollow tubular shape; when the installation is completed, the bottom is stamped and the hollow tube shape is turned outward to form a lug structure, whose external diameter is larger than the diameter of the connecting shaft through-hole 14, thus ensuring the installation effect. - As shown in
FIG. 4 andFIG. 6 , in one embodiment of the present invention, thespring mounting hole 141 has asectorial sunken structure 15 set at the direction opposite to thelocking head 13, and thesectorial sunken structure 15 is formed at the outer side of thespring mounting hole 141; an angle of thesectorial sunken structure 15 is larger than 90°. There are two step-terrace structures sectorial sunken structure 15 and thespring mounting hole 141. When rotating the pull-tab 1, thesectorial sunken structure 15 enables the pull-tab 1 to keep away from the extending end of thespring 4, ensuring the normal deformation of thespring 4. And during installation, thespring 4 could be engaged onto the step-terrace structures 152 and the spring mounting hole, which facilitates assembly. - As shown in
FIG. 8 , in one embodiment of the present invention, thespring mounting hole 141 is set as a conical platform-shape, the radius of the end with its inner side connected to the connecting shaft through-hole 14 is smaller than that of the end with its outer side connected to the pull-tab body 12. The bottom of thespring fixing hole 142 has the same design that the radius of the inner side is smaller than that of the outer side, which makes the mould release more convenient during the preparation process. - As shown in
FIG. 9 andFIG. 11 , in one embodiment of the present invention, the second extendingend 42 of thespring 4 has a fixedbending angle 421 disposed within thespring fixing hole 142; thespring fixing hole 142 connects to thespring mounting hole 141, and thespring fixing hole 142 in the pull-tab is in the same direction as the second extendingend 42 of the spring, ensuring the second extendingend 42 of thespring 4 inserting into the pull-tab 1 and preventing thespring 4 from falling off; the second extendingend 42 of thespring 4 is tangent to the ring part of thespring 4, which would further improve the strength of thespring 4 and prolong its service life. - As shown in
FIG. 14 , when the pull-tab is pulled to its limits, the lockingpart 12 of the pull-tab 1 pushes against the lockingvertical plane 254 so that the pull-tab 1 would not be allowed for further rotation. - As shown in
FIG. 15 , in one embodiment of the present invention, the connectingshaft 3 are totally hidden in the slider base, only the pull-tab 1 andslider base 2, but not the connectingshaft 3, could be seen when viewed from the front. - As shown in
FIG. 6 andFIG. 10 , in one embodiment of the present invention, the joint portion between the second extendingend 42 of thespring 4 and the ring part of thespring 4 has a corner, and thespring fixing hole 142 in the pull-tab 1 is in the same direction as the second extendingend 42 of thespring 4, ensuring the second extendingend 42 of thespring 4 inserting into the pull-tab 1 and preventing thespring 4 from falling off. - As shown in
FIG. 11 , in one embodiment of the present invention, the first extendingend 41 of thespring 4, the second extendingend 42 of thespring 4 and the ring part of thespring 4 are tangent to each other, and the extending ends havecorner 411 and fixed bending angle 422 respectively, and thecorner 411 and fixed bending angle 422 are of the same size so that the springs are compatibly used and both extending ends could be inserted into the pull-tab body 12 andslider base 2, thus reducing the assembling difficulties. - As shown in
FIG. 16 , in one embodiment of the present invention, the second extendingend 42 of thespring 4 and the ring part of thespring 4 are tangent to each other, and the second extendingend 42 has no fixed bending angles, and thespring fixing hole 142 in the pull-tab 1 is in the same direction as the second extendingend 42 of thespring 4, ensuring the second extendingend 42 of thespring 4 inserting into the pull-tab 1 and preventing thespring 4 from falling off. - When the installation of the slider is completed, the spring is in a slightly torsionally deformed condition, pulling the pull-tab would lead to further torsional deformation of the second extending end of the spring; when the pull-tab is released, the pull-tab would recover to the normal state under the impetus of the spring.
- When the pull-tab is rotated to the locking part and contacts the locking vertical plane of the slider base, it is unable to perform further rotation or movement. The limit angle of the pull-tab rotation could be adjusted by adjusting the angle of the locking vertical plane or the angle of the locking part. Due to the impetus of the spring, even the limit angle of the pull-tab rotation is very large, the failure to rebound due to over-rotation would never happen.
- While the invention has been described in terms of what is presently considered to be the most practical and preferred embodiments, it is to be understood that the invention needs not be limited to the disclosed embodiment. All the terms in the present invention is used for the sake of clarity and should not constitute or be considered to be a limitation to the invention. On the contrary, it is intended to cover various modifications and similar arrangements included within the spirit and scope of the appended claims which are to be accorded with the broadest interpretation so as to encompass all such modifications and similar structures.
